{"product_id":"democratic-transition-in-anglophone-west-jibrin-ibrahim-9782869781221","title":"Democratic Transition in Anglophone West Africa","description":"Ibrahim offers a comparative study of the democratic transitions in the Anglophone countries of West Africa, identifying regional trends and discreet factors. He argues that democracy is creeping up the agenda, owing to a detremined struggle for human rights and because democracy has been denied to the people for so long. He identifies a number of common issues across the region: the rise of a militarised secular state; a significant increase in public corruption; the primitive accumulation of capital; an intense battle to deepen democracy between civil society and the state; the appropriation of gender poltiics by the state through the office of the 'first ladies'; and the growing dissidence between elections and political choice. The study also addresses what may be considered an acceptable regional model in Ghana, and an unacceptable example in Liberia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jibrin Ibrahim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2869781229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782869781221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Codesria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 6.26w x 0.18d","brand":"Jibrin Ibrahim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064777060607,"sku":"9782869781221","price":40.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac6b4489-edd2-4857-b7e2-db71cda2f2d2.jpg?v=1768670972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democratic-transition-in-anglophone-west-jibrin-ibrahim-9782869781221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
